## Advantage

* ODBC independent

* Implemented only with Haskell (Independent of other languages ​​and environments)

* Supports encryption at login

* Implemented as
  [binary](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/binary)
  package compatible data types

* Intended for use in both Client library and Server library implementations

* 7.1 Revision 1 (SQL Server 2000 SP1 and later)

* Tested with SQL Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2014
